I had a different problem with this protector:

It didn't adhere on the left or right edges at all. That's what the white lines on the left and right of the screen are.
 
Any bubbles in screen protectors are caused by not applying them correctly or by not having the screen immaculately clean before application.

You should simply remove the protector and trash it because they are essentially useless. iPhone glass is amazingly tough and does not require a screen protector!

While I have decided to stop using screen protectors, I can't agree that this problem was due to application error. I've installed literally dozens of protectors of all kinds for myself, friends, and family members. I can install them literally to perfection. However this one was impossible to install perfectly and it was due to an issue with the protector, simple as that.
